WHAT A MESS!?... MY FIRST EVER MAIZE HARVEST!

[@sharonm3677]

Congrats Tom on the maize harvest and having the most incredible positive supportive team you could have! Hard workers and they use humour to get to the end of a very long day! Good on you all! Absolutely loved the video!❤️❤️

[@lesleywatkins1172]

Pusher was certainly worth its weight in gold! Great video Tom!

[@farmideas]

We featured an Irish pusher which had a wide trailer tyre on a frame they knocked up in the workshop. It took some driving as the height between the pusher and the trailer kept changing but they got used to it. Useful article.

[@davidhall1779]

awesome work Pemberton crew. now you have a bunch of bare fields with winter rains closing in? you just keep making more work. glad you all enjoy it.

[@farming-ul5ic]

You know it’s wet when you’ve got to fill the trailers half full or your running half empty. Amazing that no one got stuck though. Massive well done to Tom and team

[@barbaracurrie6949]

Congratulations. That mud is miserably amazing.

[@Varrig]

I have two words for you Tom, concerning your truck. Yokohama Geolandar, yes with an A. Best light truck tires around for what you're trying to do. If they are available in your area.

[@OOpSjm]

Awesome tyres

[@stevewareing8525]

Fantastic video Tom, perfect teamwork in challenging conditions. Congratulations for remembering the 6 "P" rule (Propper Planning Prevents Pi** Poor Performance) having a tractor on hand for pushing duty was a brilliant call 👌. Loved the comedy interlude when the pickups got bogged. You could tell how wet the land was as the drone shots made the maize fields look like an Open Cast site after harvesting. 🤔. I bet the Ginger Warrior will be itching to get back on the fields to sort out the mess and improve the drainage as soon as conditions allow. The crop might not have been tall but there were plenty of cobbs. Good hard compaction and sheeting and I think you might be pleased with the results. I think the cattle will go mad for it when it's ready. 😉.

[@willyfindlay4398]

God bless your " Editor" for leaving the stuck pickups.😊 Hope the Cows are happy with their 🌽 🌽 🌽 🌽 Maize.😊

[@Murphycats]

What a wonderful video!!! You got the maize in and what a team you had!!!

[@Deborah-nw9mp]

Having grown up on a farm chopping corn for silage, can smell it from 65 years ago. Love that sweet smell. We used to get stuck, too, in the wetlands of eastern NC, USA. Great idea to have a pusher! Loved the video! Good job, Tom.

[@bobuncle8704]

What an a-maize-ing video, Tom. I think it was the last video where you talked about getting a pusher to work fro the start. It was a very smart move. It was a bit dark in the clamp, but it sure looked like a good crop. 👍👍 Love it.

[@kevw6927]

After driving a claas chopper with 3.500a contracted and one of the wettest seasons a few years ago, I know that feeling, had to use a pusher all season and half loads, that was a long harvest. You all did a good job there, hope it pushes the milk up well for you.

[@jamesmarsh4957]

great to see it off now , exceptional year being so wet but you got it , pusher was a fine idea and it payed off , may not have the yields you hoped for but the weather played MAJOR PART , nothing to do with anything you did , Its in the clamp and safe now , lets see that milk quality go up !!!!

[@tonyhorner1969]

Brilliant video Tom , well done to one and all getting the maize off so efficiently!

[@bonnienichols7666]

Tom, your corn harvest brought memories of living on the family farm❣️ Dad pulled a side by side corn harvester. Through the years, he upgraded to a combine (not as fancy as yours 😂). We did not chop our corn, but my Dad would probably camp out beside your field just to watch & learn. Congrats on a successful 2024 corn harvest‼️ 🚜🌽🐄

[@NormanBruce-ec4ho]

Great video, them maze boy are something else, the pusher saved the day.

[@AahleyBrown-tx9og]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now & this has definitely been my favourite one !!

[@OxxFreddyGlasgow.]

Absolutely fantastic video Tom. Really great content.

[@jankemps1661]

Where I live, the farmers are lucky with the relatively dry weather. last year a lot of maize was left in the fields because some fields were not muddy but flooded this time of year. And the maize of last year stayed in some fields until this summer until it was dry enough to plough it under.

[@richardwhitelock7779]

Total madness but what a great video and Tom you are Not stupid but an extremely hard working farmer. Keep smiling and don't let the basters grind you down. Best wishes to you all Rich W Ely UK 🇬🇧

[@fraserkerr4817]

The fact you never got stuck in the field is down to the pusher what a job he did, I'm no Deere fan but my god hats off to it, great video tom music was mint 👍

[@brianshields7137]

Good day tom , greetings from down under when i was young and we contract harvested we always had a spars wheel for the most important machines with all out tractors the same it ment 1 front and 1 back wheel on stand by and 1 for the bailer and rake and spare tubes and sleeves for utter emergencies as well as jacks and a winch jib to lift the bigger wheels out of the trailer they all lived in

[@markhignett7671]

I was a delivery driver in your area for many years.. I will never forget a year ( about 10 years ago ) when harvest was so wet , hoyles ( shout out to Aubrey , I’m the guy he helped with my hat collection ) and Wilson’s , one of Harry’s lads helped me with some bulbs bulbs for my van and never charged me for them .. but the story is they both had to bring in the claass jags in on the tracks because the land was so wet and the crop was poor .. but they got it done .. shout out to hoyles and Wilson’s ..

[@normabinkley6111]

Great drone footage of the harvest. What a muddy mess. Job well done.

[@sueg1530]

Excellent video Tom, what a huge team effort!

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Good video Tom, looked like things went well good idea the pusher tractor.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

And that is that. The fields are so wet. The pusher tractor was a brilliant idea 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@traceygoy]

That was absolutely a MAIZE ing to watch, well done to the whole team, great video Tom 👍

[@philipkimber6302]

Boy that brings back painful memories of maize in October. Brilliant feed but rain always brought chaos. So much better with wider tyres!

[@ianturnbull266]

Watching from Southern Ontario Canada. It's amazing what you can seem to get away with in your soil. If I did that with my soil (heavy clay) it would be packed like concrete till the end of time. Nice new Massey BTW!

[@Cheryl-d7z]

No tractors got stuck, but ya sure did with the pick-up trucks! But your a very busy man & fast talker too. So lovely to watch your videos!!!!

[@solarpoweredfarm8813]

Love the harvesting videos with music like years ago in your first year

[@markpalmer9002]

Congrats on the maize, I'm sure it's as good as it looks. I hope you don't get as much stick for any mud you deposit on the roads as they get round here, even though our farmers put up signs, announce it on social media and clean the road as the last trailer leaves the field they still moan. Great video.

[@ronniehoyle9671]

Great video as always, looked like it went quite well. You had things well planned out 👍

[@Beefy2203]

Feel your pain with the tyre, we’ve just had to replace all 4 on our Manitou at £480 a pop (which I thought was cheap). That 2 tonne sling did well 😂

[@sandy7299]

Very tense video to watch, my whole body was willing these tractors not to get stuck😂 Thanks for showing it as it happened!

[@miketaylor1916]

Guy in JD Had best job there. Hero!!!

What a lot of exhausting work for all of you! Your maize looks pretty tasty, I hope the cows love it and turn it into even more milk.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Best of luck with everything ahead on the farm 👍👍👍

[@gregdevereux3798]

If it was me I think the next update to the farm would be pattern drainage tile . Drain the water in those fields to those ponds.

[@GlenGear-fs2dk]

great video good to see you do your own maize

[@markchitwood5322]

Family and farming are hard to do perfect but you make it look easy take of your self an best of health to your father

[@psychologicalprojectionist]

My thanks to the cast. Loved the bants!

[@ZombieModz1]

u done well compacting straggling the ruts will be nice once its dried

[@graemelaing1354]

What’s the cost of the compaction and destroying the field?? Maybe wrong part of the country to grow this crop.

[@phillipewart]

Couldnt agree more...what a mess

[@chriscanning8937]

@@phillipewartthat ain’t messy, seen worse

[@merv690]

I would like to say what a brilliant job the pusher driver did, it is not as easy as he made it look very skilful lad well done

[@markh5433]

What a fantastic video Tom… Great team work all around🚜😎

[@chrisgeurtsen7047]

Well done on your first year.

[@markmccready6262]

Cracking video Tom in tricky conditions. Haven’t seen Jo or Harvey in a while hope they are doing well.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Looks like some very good mase another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

[@patrickcormack7637]

Great video and work done. You should had the trailer pusher when you were doing first cut silage this year. It would help in field. Get it for next year in case

[@68diggerman]

Great video Tom .love it sending Luke back with full load get in there love it

[@Michelle-my8ic]

Tom I think u done amazing job with the crap year we had with all the wet weather ad its ur first go at maze well done happy cows as always

[@dwrowley]

great video, very interesting, drone shots were amazing

[@cianfarnan8181]

Interesting way of opening the field lot of waste

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

Wish I could share some pics of a farm we chopped for recently. Had a 8530 Deere on 800 duals dedicated to pulling buggies through and pulling harvester out. Numerous times the recovery tractor needed recovering it was horrible. It looked like we were chopping corn in a rice field. Only couple farms left in the area that couldn’t get it off and we’re at the last couple chances before winter sets in to try. Once it freezes it could go but then the corn is brown and dead and just makes junk feed so might as well try. Didn’t need to bring out the 9430 at least !’

[@raymondsmith8487]

Now that's farming. Brilliant video Tom.

Love the aerial shots.

[@nrsjeni2351]

Watching this from Iowa, I’m so used to seeing 18 wheel trucks filled with grain this time of year. Small tractors making so many trips is amazing to me. Get some rest, it’s well deserved.

[@chrisjackson2470]

😂😂😂 horses for courses

[@locallyn5643]

You got more off than the farmers round where i am there is so much crop left to rot in the fields, good job Tom and team

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Luke at him clean Anna little help from a broom lol Were the bare areas down to too much moisture, seemed the chopper was definitely sinking just driving through at the start Your plan with the pusher tractor certainly looks to have been well utilised, definitely a day for floatation tyres 😂 Rescuing the trailer, was that a chain reaction 😳 Anna is an admirable ambassador for young farmers, her enthusiasm seems boundless, whether its learning new skills or just getting on with the job, brilliant. Oh and making great youtube content, stuck it to them girls😂 Great video under potentially stressful conditions Hi to all and the ginger guy Take care Geoff

[@chriscrowther33x]

Well done teem great video

[@kimrafferty7170]

I am so glad you got the maize in, with the weather we have had this year its amazing that it managed to grow at all. We are used to seeing your fields wet in the winter but it has been relentless this year and what's worrying me is I heard that next year is going to be even worse, when I heard that my heart bled for you and all the farmers, how on earth is any farmer meant to keep going when they are having it so tough which is made even worse when the government withdraws so much, I bet they won't step in to help with farmers cope with everything that is being thrown at them. Sorry I didn't mean this to turn into a political rant because you and your team have done amazing to get the amount of feed in for the cows this year, I am looking forward to the stats and how your girls perform when they are on the maize. Congratulations again Tom and Mr Pemberton for everything you have achieved this year. Love to you and all the team xx

[@BethWeber-we4sz]

Hi Tom I’m new to your channel, Graeme from the hoof gp sent me over 👍😊what a huge operation your right about the pusher wow worth it weight

[@paulacunningham8976]

Fair play Tom the heartache in them wet fields it's horrible to see ..ye farmers work so so hard ...your maize is in your happy ❤

[@thetessellater9163]

I think the maize stopped the drying breeze from getting to the soil unfortunately.

[@freemanbam]

Love you’re videos man!

[@valentincoroama7993]

Hello Tom! I would like to ask you about the feeding front you installed in the new barn. What do you think about it, and why did you choose this option? Also, I would like to ask how you restrain the cows when biological samples need to be collected. Thank you!

[@johnwarwick4105]

Boy it’s wet with you, actually very dry here in north Lincs. Hats off to the guys that do that all day for weeks on end 😳

Wanna get a stand made up that's part of the weight block .. we have a weight that has some legs on it either yank em out for max clearance or leave em in if u don't need as much makes it so easy

[@Olliewilkinson]

You’re obviously going to get more material per acres than grass but what’s the cost per tone / acre in comparison and what’s the milk yield between feeds?

[@focirs7484]

Pickup truck with road tires, never ends well in mud 🤣

One of your best videos!!! Your music selections are always the very best too!!! (Rap NOT included on that very rare occasion). Yep, November 5th was an exceptional harvest day. 🇺🇸
